BIO:

Aaron Wickenden is a multipleEmmy and ACE Eddie nominated filmmaker with over 15 years of professional experience. He is regarded for bringing a tireless work ethic, alacrity and a playful aesthetic to each of his creative collaborations - including the Oscar nominated film Finding Vivian Maier. In 2014 he was recruited by Oscar winner Morgan Neville (20 Feet From Stardom) and Grammy-winning author and filmmaker Robert Gordon (Respect Yourself) to Co-edit their film Best of Enemies, which had its world premiere in competition at Sundance 2015, was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award, shortlisted for the 2016 Documentary Academy Award, recently won an Emmy and earned him a Cinema EyeHonors nomination for Best Editing. In a recent interview for RogerEbert.com, Neville describes hiring Aaron: "Docs, in general, are made in the edit bay, archival docs even more so... We brought in Aaron Wickenden, who cut “Finding Vivian Maier,” and he’s amazing."

Throughout 2017 Aaron edited two documentary features which will be in theaters this summer: Generation Wealth (AMAZON STUDIOS) and Won’t You be my Neighbor?(FOCUS FEATURES). He recently wrapped his 3rd collaboration with Morgan Neville which is about Orson Welles and his final unfinished film The Other Side of the Wind and rumor has it that the film will be out in the Fall. Now back in Chicago, he will be doing some c0/additional editing on a few projects that will allow him to stretch his skills as a subversive humorist and take him through the end of the year. In his spare time, he can usually be found goofing off with his wife Jennifer Brandelat one of Chicago's dog beaches or promoting his own award winning film Almost There - which is available for rent on Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Vimeo.

Aaron is always on lookout for new projects and is also open to consultations when time permits. Please don't hesitate to be in touch via the contact page. Pro-tip: if you watch Almost There before reaching out you will get prioritized attention.
